- Allow client to specify recipients that don't need to be delivered to
- When fetching recipient, recognize collections and don't try to deliver to
them
- Remember collections in DB, and use that to skip HTTP delivery
This patch does a small simple change, however at the cost of the request body
not being available for display in the latest activity list, unless processing
succeeds. I'll fix this situation in a separate patch.
It runs checks against all the relevant tables, but ultimately just inserts the
activity into the recipient's inbox and nothing more, leaving the RemoteMessage
creation and inbox forwarding to the project inbox handler.
Inbox post is disabled but in the next patches I'll code and integrate a fixed
complete one, hopefully finally getting ticket comment federation ready for
testing.
I'm making this change because if an actor receives an activity due to being
addressed in bto, ot bcc, or being listed in some remote collection, the server
doesn't have a way to tell which actor(s) are the intended recipients, without
having an individual inbox URL for each actor. I could use a different hack for
this, but it wouldn't be compatible with other AP servers (unless the whole
fediverse agrees on a method).
I wasn't using sharedInbox anyway, and it's an optimization either way.
I wrote a function handleOutboxNote that's supposed to do the whole outbox POST
handler process. There's an outbox item table in the DB now, I adapted things
in various source files. Ticket comment federation work is still in progress.
The custom module provides a parametric wrapper, allowing any specific
FromJSON/ToJSON instance to be used. It's a standalone module though, and not a
wrapper of persistent-postgresql, because persistent-postgresql uses aeson
Value and it prevents using toEncoding to get from the value directly to a
string.
* Adapt DB related code to return the InstanceId and RemoteSharerId
* Previously, when fetching a known shared key, we were running a DB
check/update for the shared usage record. I noticed - and hopefully I
correctly noticed - that this check already runs when we discover the keyId
points to a shared key we already know. So, after successful sig
verification, there's no need to run the check again. So I removed it.
